Foreword

Wind power technology is mature and the production cost is constantly decreasing. It is currently the largest renewable power generation method。The development of wind power has become an important element part of many countries’ efforts to promote energy transition and an important way to address climate change. It is also an important means for China to further promote the energy production and consumption revolution and to promote prevention of atmospheric pollution。

The "13th Five-Year Plan" period is an important period for China to promote the energy development strategy of "Four Revolutions and One Cooperation"。In order to achieve the target of 15% and 20% of non-fossil energy in primary energy consumption in 2020 and 2030, respectively, to promote the transformation and upgrading of the energy structure and to promote the sustained and healthy development of the wind power industry, in accordance with the requirements of the "Renewable Energy Law", and on the basis of the "13th Five-Year Plan for Energy Development" and the "13th Five-Year Plan for Renewable Energy Development", this plans was developed。

This plan clarifies the guiding ideology, basic principles, development goals, construction layout, key tasks, innovation and development methods, and safeguard measures for wind power development in China from 2016 to 2020, and is an important guide for the development of wind power in China during the 13th Five-Year Plan period。

 

1. Development status and outlook

(i) International situation

With countries worldwide paying increasing attention to issues such as energy security, the environment, climate change and other issues, accelerating the development of wind power has already become a tool in promoting energy transition, and a general consensus and concerted action in coping with global climate change in the international community。This is clear mainly in:

Wind power has achieved industrialized application on a global scale。Wind power is the most widely used and fastest-growing of new energy technologies, and has achieved industrialized application on a global scale。By the end of 2015, global cumulative installed capacity of wind power reached 432 GW, in over 100 countries and regions。During the "12th FYP" period, global newly installed wind power capacity was 238 GW, an average annual growth of 17%, and the largest increase in installed capacity of any new power generation technologies。

Wind power has become an important part of electricity supply growth in a number of countries。Since 2000, wind power accounted for 30% of newly installed capacity in Europe, and since 2007 wind power accounted for 33% in the United States。In 2015, the share of wind power in electricity consumption was 42%, 19% and 13%, in Denmark, Spain and Germany, respectively。With the increasingly strong global consensus on the development of renewable energy, wind power will play a more important role in future electric power systems。The United States has proposed to get 20% of electricity consumption supplied by wind power by 2030, and Denmark, Germany and other countries use the development of wind power as a core measure in achieving a high share of renewable energy by 2050。

The economics of wind power development and utilization have significantly improved。With the continuous global progress in the development, utilization, and technologies of wind power, as well as the continuous expansion of the scale of utilization, the cost of development and utilization of wind power has dropped by about 30% in the past five years。In Brazil, South Africa, Egypt, and other countries, the bidding price of wind power has already been lower than of the local traditional fossil energy feed-in tariff. In the U.S., the price in long-term wind power agreements has fallen to levels comparable with that of fossil electricity prices. Wind power is gradually beginning to show stronger economic performance。

(ii) Domestic situation

1) Development status

During the "12th Five-Year Plan" period, nationwide wind power installations have grown rapidly, development layout has continuously been optimized, the technological level has improved significantly, the policy system has gradually improved, wind power has already gone from a development stage of supplementary form of energy to one of a alternative form of energy, which has become clear from:

Wind power has become an important element in China's newly installed power generation capacity。During the "12th Five-Year Plan" period, China's newly installed capacity of wind power was the world's highest for five consecutive years. A total of 98 GW have been added, accounting for 18% of the national total of newly installed generation capacity over the same period, with its share in the power generation source structure increasing increasing every year。Positive results have been achieved with wind power development and construction in the Central, Eastern and Southern regions。By the end of 2015, the national total of grid-connected installed capacity of wind power reached 129 GW. Annual power generation amounted to 186.3 TWh, accounted for 3.3% of the national total electricity generation; a 2.1 percentage point increase over 2010。Wind power has become China's third largest source of power, after coal and hydropower。

Industry technology levels have significantly improved。Industry localization has basically been achieved for the entire industrial chain for wind power, with the level of industry concentration continually increasing, and many companies ranking among the global top 10。The technological level and reliability of wind power equipment are continuously improving, have basically reached a globally advanced level, and have been exported to 28 countries and regions while simultaneously satisfying the domestic market demand。The grid-friendliness and adaptability of wind turbines to special environments such as high altitude, low temperature, and frost have been significantly improved, the economics of low wind speed wind power technologies has significantly been enhanced, and the nationwide volume of wind resources that can be developed has significantly increased。

Industry management and policy systems have gradually improved。“十二五”期间,我国基本建立了较为完善的促进风电产业发展的行业管理和政策体系,出台了风电项目开发、建设、并网、运行管理及信息监管等各关键环节的管理规定和技术要求,简化了风电开发建设管理流程,完善了风电技术标准体系,开展了风电设备整机及关键零部件型式认证,建立了风电产业信息监测和评价体系,基本形成了规范、公平、完善的风电行业政策环境,保障了风电产业的持续健康发展。

2) Situation and challenges

In order to achieve the goal of a 15% and 20% share of non-fossil energy in primary energy consumption in 2020 and 2030, respectively, and to promote energy transition, China must accelerate the development of wind power and other renewable energy industries。However, as the scale of utilization continues to expand, the development of wind power also faces many new challenges, which has become clear from:

The existing management mechanism for power operation does not meet the needs of large-scale wind power integration。China's assessment and approval for power generation planning and start-up methods for large numbers of coal-fired power generation units is not scientific. Incentive policies for ancillary services are not in place. The mechanism for planning and evaluation for inter-provincial power grid linkages is not reasonable. The potential for inter-provincial and inter-regional compensation and regulation cannot be fully realized. Demand-side responsiveness is constrained by rigid pricing policies. [These] many factors have caused the system's ability to absorb wind power and other renewable energy to not have been effectively tapped, with problems of wind power curtailment arising in a some areas。

Economics are still an important factor restricting the development of wind power。Compared with traditional fossil power generation, wind power generation cost remain relatively high. Subsidy needs and policy dependency remain relatively strong, with industry development relatively strongly influenced by policy changes。At the same time, pricing and taxation mechanisms that reflect the environmental costs of fossil energy sources have not yet been established, so that the environmental benefits of wind power and other clean energy are not reflected。

Policies and a market environment that support the development of wind power still needs further improvement。The problem of local government protection of wind power development has become more prominent, with “heavy construction and light utilization” of wind power in some areas, and policies for giving priority to the development of renewable energy have not been properly implemented。The administrative management system for equipment quality is not yet complete, a mechanism for industrial survival of the fittest has not yet been established, the degree of industry concentration needs to be further increased, and low-level equipment still occupies a relatively large share of the market。

Overall target:By year end 2020, ensure that the total grid-connected capacity of wind power has reached 210 GW, of which 5 GW of grid-connected offshore wind power;ensure wind power generation reaches 420 TWh, accounting for about 6% of total electricity generation 。

Consumption target:By 2020, effectively solve the problem of wind power curtailment. The entire "Three Norths" region meets the minimum number of guaranteed full-load hours purchased 。

Industrial development goals:Wind power equipment manufacturing level and R&D capabilities continue to improve, 3 to 5 equipment manufacturers are at an advanced level internationally, with market share significantly improved。

(ii) Construction layout

In accordance with the specific characteristics of wind resources and current grid operating status in China, the wind power development principles in the "13th FYP" period are as follows:

1) Accelerate the development of onshore wind energy resources in the eastern and southern regions

Accelerate the development of onshore wind energy resources in the eastern and southern regions Accelerate the large-scale development of onshore wind energy resources in the eastern and southern regions, whilst ensuring environmental protection, soil and water conservation and vegetation restoration, and in principle aim for consumption of the wind power close to the source of generation, enabling better utilization of the wide-spread and distributed wind resources that require flexibility on the consumption side。Combine grid construction plans and upgrading of rural power grids; promote the development of distributed wind power connected to low voltage distribution networks, and the integration of wind power and other types of distributed energy, whilst considering local availability of resources, land, and conditions for transport, construction and installation 。

By 2020, there will be an additional 42 GW or more of grid-connected onshore wind power in the eastern and southern regions, with cumulative grid-connected capacity reaching 70 GW or more。In order to guarantee achieving targets for shares of non-fossil energy in the energy mix, local wind power development plans of provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) should not be less than the planned development targets as listed in Table 1。On the basis of ensuring the consumption of wind power, provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) are encouraged to further expand the scale of development of wind power; provinces with relatively low levels of wind power installations and high productivity of wind farms are encouraged to actively accept inter-provincial or inter-regional imports of wind power。
